It ensures secure management of online payments and trust compliance by correctly separating earned and unearned fees.  

Transaction fees and chargebacks are automatically deducted from the firm’s operating account, not the client account.  

This feature streamlines reconciliation and record-keeping, as it centralises client, billing, and financial records, and syncs with preferred accounting platforms. 

The transparent pricing model of Clio Payments provides full transaction visibility without hidden fees, reducing administrative burdens and enhancing clarity for clients.  

Clio APAC general manager Denise Farmer said: “As part of Clio’s commitment to enhancing the global legal experience, Clio Payments provides Australian law firms with a client centred billing and payments solution that aligns with the realities of modern legal practice.  

“We’re thrilled to bring this technology to Australia, where it can simplify financial processes, foster stronger client relationships, and ultimately make legal services more accessible to all Australians.”
